TOO MUCH LOVE WILL KILL YOU.

Have you ever loved somebody? Knowing that someday, sooner or later, you would grow fond of them? Get attached to them? Or even depended on them? That if one day they disappeared, you would have no one but yourself to deal with in the end?

Well, for some, cigarette and alcohol has become their "partner in crime". Whether it is one stick a day, it would eventually turn into a pack per day.


The universe of the youth today, is vague. We may find societies that totally influences an individual, while there are those societies ruled by the individuals themselves. What I mean to say is that, our environment plays a big role in influencing an individual's habit. Vice can be termed the "bad side effects".

When an individual consumes tobacco, or takes in alcohol, the chances are, its a one way road. Turning back is always an option and an open road, but it will be difficult.

Understanding Toxicology

This subject deals with chemicals and their adverse effects on living organisms. These chemicals which can also be alternatively called as toxicants include both synthetic agents and naturally occurring substances such as poisons. These poisons can be produced by bacteria, animals, and even plants which is then related to the term toxins or venoms. 

The mainstream of toxicology targets on identifying and evaluating toxicity from the human health perspective and the safety assessment of drugs that aims to predict the health hazards and risks.

The term ''toxicity'' on the other hand is defined as the intrinsic ability of an agent to harm living organisms.

When evaluating the 'toxicological profile' of a chemical, information such as the rate and pattern of ADME is gathered, as well as its immediate or delayed adverse health effects, target tissues, clinical significance of intoxication, mechanism of action and dose-response relationships.

      1. LOVE LIFE, LIVE HEALTHY

Eating right and healthy have many advantages such as natural vitamins and minerals which keeps you away from illness. Therefore less need for medicines.

      2. ON THE GO
      Its time for you to go outside and work your way out of that shadow. Exercise and go for long walks. This does not only help you stay fit, but also enhances your body metabolism. Helps you adapt to the environment and keeps you active.


         3. REACH OUT TO THE WORLD

         4. KEEP YOUR FAITH
      Know what/who you want to believe in and hold on to it. Prayers can be your strongest weapon, and your God can be your only savior. If you know where the path of faith is, you will surely be guided all the way.
